Simon Rimmer: ‘Not the best start’ Sunday Brunch host hits back after Tim Lovejoy snub

Simon Rimmer, 56, looked very fed up when his Sunday Brunch co-host Tim Lovejoy said he “loved” their guest chef Jeremy Pang more than him. The TV personality was irritated by the on-air snub, which took place on today’s episode of the Channel 4 show after Jeremy revealed he would be cooking up some delicious treats in the studio.

The School of Wok founder introduced his cooking segment by explaining: “I’m going to do some nice barbecue ribs and a pomelo and crab wonton tartlet, can’t wait!”

After feasting his eyes on Jeremy’s culinary delights, Tim gushed: “I love Jeremy.”

“More than me?” Simon asked his fellow presenter in response.

Tim couldn’t resist teasing his co-star as he replied: “So much more than you. His food is amazing.”

Simon appeared to be less than impressed with the remark as he folded his arms and frowned while Tim continued to tell viewers what was coming up on the programme.

Sensing his mood, Tim took the opportunity to try to make amends, adding: “Sorry mate but look at those ribs!”

However, the chef curtly hit back: “No, it’s fine, I get it. It’s fine.

“It’s not been the best start of the show.”

Fortunately, Tim was able to lighten the mood when he accidentally made a rude hand gesture.

After revealing Jeremy had once gifted him with a kitchen utensil, he moved his fist up and down to mimic how he uses it.

Simon noticed that fans may have gotten the wrong idea from his co-host’s gesture and quipped: “It was a cleaver. I thought I’d better explain that if you were watching at home.”

While repeating the movement, Tim laughed: “The international sign for a cleaver is that.”
